Title: A video tuner circuit wherein the external buffer is replaced by a signal level adjuster and tuner circuit output is directly applied to a signal processor
Inventor: KIM CHUL-MIN
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: A method of designing a tuner circuit for removing a buffer circuit for video drive for increasing drive current capacitance added to an output terminal is provided, unlike a buffer for small-current drive installed in a tuner circuit. The method of designing a tuner circuit has a buffer installed in an integrated circuit (IC) of small-current drive in a video output terminal, and includes an RF converting block, a tuning block and a demodulation block, in which a video output signal of the buffer in IC is input to an input circuit for processing a signal without an external buffer for drive, and the amount of attenuation of a signal at high frequency due to small drive current is measured to improve a frequency characteristic of a video signal in the tuner circuit in proportion to the amount of attenuation. Thus, an additional buffer for drive is not required, so that the number of devices is reduced, to thereby lower the material costs. In an alternative embodiment the demodulation block includes a SAW filter 206 with a high frequency characteristic arranged to compensate for attenuation of a high frequency component of a video signal.

Title: Callase-related dnas and their use in artificial male sterility
Inventor: SCOTT RODERICK JOHN
IPC: C12N9/50
Filed: 1992-07-23
Abstract: A tapetum-specific callase ( beta -1,3-glucanase) gene, designated A6, from Brassica napus and other members of the family Brassicaceae including A. thaliana has been discovered, isolated and cloned. The A6 gene encodes a 53 kDa callase enzyme of Brassica napus and equivalent proteins in other Brassicaceae family members. Coding sequence from the gene can be driven by an appropriate promoter to induce male sterility in plants. Further, the A6 promoter can be used to drive male sterility DNA such as that coding for a nuclease, protease or glucanase. Alternatively or in addition, male sterility can be achieved by disrupting the proper expression of the A6 gene, for example by transcribing RNA which is antisense to the RNA normally transcribed from the A6 gene, or by expressing DNA coding for a ribozyme specific for the A6 gene RNA transcript.
